Did you know that there are some more advanced ways of using Google? These
techniques should help you to retreive more accurate results. Here are
some easy ones to remember.
Get Local Results
Add near me to the end of any search to show LOCAL results in your area. This is typically a 20-mile radius. There is no point in showing stuff 10 states a away if your looking for a place to eat or other local service! Likewise you could also use the name of the city or town to find results in that town.Example: computer repair near me
Example: computer repair Dixon, IL
Example: computer repair 61021
Search a Single Site
Searching within a single website can be accomplished by adding site:sitename.com before the name of the website.Example: site:meyercomputer.net
Get Specific
Use quotation marks to look for an exact phrase. Otherwise, Google may list similar items.Example: "HP laptop hinge repair"
Filter Results
Exclude unwanted results by using the minus sign.Example: Restaurants near me -Chinese -Thai
Select A Range
You can search a price range like this: Used car $5000...$10000 to get results in the specified range.Combine More than One!
You can even combine these several searches into a single request!Example: Used car Ford -Pinto $5000...$10000 near me
